Shadow briefly stopped all movement for a short moment. He managed to rasp out quickly "I want to cum inside you!" He began to thrust in her again with a rapid increase in energy as his face twisted into pure anger. He growled at her for a moment, their eyes still locked, but the look of anger slowly gave way to that of pain… and then sorrowful begging. His ears drooped and he almost sobbed as he began to slow his thrusting down. The growls turned to light whimpers of pleading. The man's eyes almost seemed to water as he took a large sigh and his movement came to a stop.

With his eyes still locked on hers he was finally able to slow his breathing, and at that point realized just how exhausted he was. The large man closed his eyes and lowered himself down gently over her, while still slightly propping himself up in the hopes of not crushing the woman below him. He continued to catch his breath as he listened to her breathing and enjoy the feeling of her arms still around him.

Sandy slowly ran her fingers through the fur on his back going up and down and then side to side. She'd stop briefly when she came to one of his scares and circle her fingers around it before moving back to exploring him. After a few mute minutes of this she finally spoke up. "Well." She paused briefly and let out a short pleasant moan. "That was something."

Hearing her words caused his eyes to shoot open. For the first time in his life he had finally experienced true peace, bliss, or maybe even heaven… that was until her voice echoed through his ears. His sight focused on the reflection in the glass closest doors, which greeted him with the image of a black furred beast on lying over a brown furred feminine creature. His head on her shoulder blocked her face from his view. He stared blinkingly at two backed beast in the mirror. Watching their bodies heave as they breathed while still connected to one another.

While still staring at the mirror he focused his sight on the female almost hidden under him and then found the energy to respond. "You were more than something." Shadow closed his eyes again while trying to focus on the feeling of Sandy beneath him. He could swear their breathing had finally synced up, and was a bit confused at why that made his chest tight again.

"heh" She giggled slightly while readjusting herself underneath him. "My Ma would be thrilled to hear I met someone that I wanted to…" Her voice tailed off briefly. Sandy exhaled loudly before continuing. "Guess she'd be a bit sore at me for interacting with a fella before getting hitched."

"Why"? Shadow replayed while propping himself above her again. They both gasped as his member finally left her loins. He tried to look down at her sternly but felt himself, again, lose control as he ended their moment with a whimper. His head shook briefly as he tried to regain his ego.

Shadow stopped in shock as Sandy pulled herself up and kisses him deeply. His eyes stayed wide open, in awe, as she sucked onto him, and lightly bit his upper lip. She dropped down, just as fast as she had propped herself up, and continued to smile at him shyly.

After a few ragged breaths Shadow regained his train of thought and attempted to ask, the woman below him, once again. "Why…." He grunted quietly. "Why is this anyone else's business"?

Sandy shot a harsh, yet confused, look back at him while removing her arms from around his shoulders. "Some things come up while talking to yer family… or at least mine." Her face frowned while her eyes shot away from him. Her body became stiff below him.

It took all his effort not to roll his eye, and push her away, after hearing her latest irritating thought. His body became rigid, as he pushed himself away from her to fall on his back. He was momentarily happy not being able to see her emotions. The silence was peaceful at first, but quickly started to devour him.

The cold icy void between the two had crept up extremely fast. Was it his fault or her's? He wasn't sure at this point. His mind was still spinning with what had just happened between the two of them. The brief conversation had seemed to spring them back to almost the same state they had been in days ago… So much conflict between the two of them, yet so much yearning. He was already starting to go crazy from the extreme emotional swings. However, at that very moment he was missing that close thrill they had just shared with one another.

Shadow gulped heavily knowing they were now on thin ice as far as her mood was concerned. He wrapped his arms around her while forcefully pulling her against his body. He shivered after realizing how, oh so close to her he was, yet how stiff and unresponsive she was to his embrace. "I don't have a family, so I wouldn't know." He whispered in her ear. He then kissed that same ear and snuggled his face into her shoulder. He felt her body loosen up, and accept his embrace. He tried to hide his sigh of relief by pushing his face closer into her neck.

Days later….

(shadow had been longing for time with Sandy, so he decides to ask her to go on a run with him and stay for dinner. He cooks dinner after they got back and they ate. He then asks her to watch a movie with him, even though he isn't into them, in the hopes of getting close to her and seducing her. Just as dinner was intended to do.)

Shadow had rented a western movie it was entitled The Quick and the Dead. She had brought it up to him a few times in the past as it was her favorite movie growing up. The man had suggested they watch it together so she could point out anything he missed. Too bad she wasn't a mind reader as he seemed pretty uninterested in it with in the first 10 minutes.

Shadow shifted from side to side, and hummed to himself gruffly off and on. Sandy occasionally glanced at him, and every time he was focused on their surroundings and not the movie he had insisted on her staying to watch with him. "You ok"? She asked while her quick glance became a stare.

His head snapped towards her at the sound of her voice. His face was almost blank but still held a slight tinge of worry. He stared back at her a moment before replying. "Why wouldn't I be"? He sighed heavily and then looked back at the television before them, but to her it almost looked like he was looking through it and not at it.

"You seem a tad bit distracted". She sighed while drawing her attention back to the screen before them.

Shadow growled to himself as he felt his hopes for the night slipping away right before him, or more correctly stated… beside him. "I thought the whole point of watching a movie was to be distracted". He mumbled while leaning away from her body that was propped next to his.

"Well…" She sung loudly. "Ya haven't been watching the movie much". She let out a soft giggle while leaning her head on his shoulder that he had just attempted to move away from her. After her head hit his body she felt him go stiff.

Shadow stayed stiff while staring towards the TV. She nudged her head into his shoulder a bit more…. Knowing full well, the whole time, what he had been after tonight. "Well if you're so distracted maybe I should go home for the night", She pulled away from him as she stood up, only to have him tightly grip her wrist and pull her back down next to him.

The brown squirrel was in shock with how forceful he had been pulling her back to him. She slowly turned her face towards him, ready for a fight, but was a bit taken back about how desperately pathetic he looked at her. "Don't"! The words escaped his mouth harshly.

He closed his eyes and tried to control his ragged breath. Shadow then looked back at her, in his usually blank manor. "Please". He closed his eyes again and then leaned his forehead on hers.

Sandy hated how aroused she was becoming from his actions. She had a signal image of him in her mind, but when they became close like this that image was twisted and turned in ways she never thought possible… and she was in awe of how much she was loving it.

She closed her eyes briefly just wanting to attempt to feel his face to her, again enjoying it too much. "Shadow." She stated sternly. "What do you want from me"? The woman opened her eyes again just in time to see his eyes open and stare deeply back at her.

A few minutes passed as their breath started to synch. "You." He replied quietly as his glare stayed intently on hers.
